NBB Offers Customers a Second Opportunity to Benefit from Instalment Deferral via Its Innovative Digital Platform

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has announced the reopening of its instalment deferral applications for retail customers, providing another opportunity for customers who were unable to apply during the initial phase to benefit from the initiative.

The option will be available exclusively to eligible customers who did not apply previously, through the Bank’s dedicated digital portal from 1 May to 10 May 2026. This will allow them to defer their Personal and Mortgage Finance instalments for a period of three months, from May to July, including interest and insurance charges applied to the deferred instalments, with no additional fees. Customers can submit their requests seamlessly through the digital platform available on the Bank’s website, without the need to visit a branch, reflecting NBB’s continued focus on delivering simple and accessible solutions.

Commenting on the announcement, Subah Abdullatif Al Zayani, Chief Executive – Retail Banking at NBB, said, “As some clients may not have had the opportunity to benefit from this initiative earlier, we have reopened the instalment deferral applications to continue supporting their evolving needs and expectations.”

Ahead of that, NBB’s credit card skip payment option remains available through the digital platform on the Bank’s website until 30th April 2026, offering customers further convenience and flexibility in managing their financial commitments.

As a national institution, NBB remains committed helping safeguard financial stability across the Kingdom. For more information, please visit nbbonline.com, call 1721 4433, or visit any NBB branch.
